“Some parts of this journey you will have to complete yourself, as you are the only one that can truly know what you are looking for. However, the support from the people that love you the most will never go away and they will always be there to help guide you to what you’re searching for, even if they haven’t found it for themselves yet. We are all enduring our own stories, and while your pathway might be different from others, that will only make it increasingly special and unique. At times it might feel frustrating or hopeless, but in the end, you will find the light you’ve been looking for and your search will have been so worth it,” said Brooke.
Not only was her film submitted in the Red Rock ScreenDance Film Festival, but has also been featured in the Undergraduate Research symposium at Dixie, Red Rock Choreography Competition, and even took second place in the Concorsi di Danza Choreography Competition held in Florence, Italy.
“This has been such an amazing thing to be able to add to my resume. I am honestly still so shocked that people even watched my piece and even liked it a little bit,” said Brooke. “Florence has such a high reputation for art and dance and to think that my piece went up against hundreds of others across the world and still won 2nd place is unreal.”
For Brooke, dance has always been a huge passion of hers. She tried out for the Dixie Blaze Dance Team right out of high school on a whim and made the team. She’s been part of the dance team for the past six years and now that she has graduated, has accepted the position to be the assistant coach of the Dixie Blaze Dance Team this upcoming school year.
“I feel most at home here and I cannot wait to stay a Trailblazer for at least another year,” said Brooke. “I am going to continue dancing and hope to turn it into a professional career one way or another.”
